This is a condensed version of Schreiner's massive New Testament Theology. When it comes to evangelical biblical scholars, Schreiner is top notch, and this book is no different. He does a good job of concisely discussing complicated doctrines and biblical themes. Not to mention, reading Schreiner does not feel all that laborious, which is more than I can say about many NT theologians.

I've read both versions, and I have a suggestion: if you're actually going to pick up a book on NT theology, go ahead and get his larger work. It will be a good resource for future study, he is able to expand his discussion on some topics that can't be detailed in 5–10 pages, and it includes footnotes to further your studies of a particular topic that might interest you. Yes, it's much bigger and more expensive, but I believe it's a good investment for those who are interested in diving into NT theology. ( )
